The four of them in Renn ran out of the "Plague Base" after all their calculations. Then unexpectedly, they were blocked by a large barbarian army and escorted back to the Machinery City.
It seemed like a useless effort at first, but after seeing the scene of the Mechanical City being breached, Renn was glad that their choice was correct.
Even though Ren was a doctor and had seen so many strange death cases, he still took a breath when he saw the tragic situation in the Machinery City.
There was no one left alive in the huge "plague base".
Thousands of corpses were carried out of the Mechanical City by barbarian warriors, stripped of their equipment, and built a high mountain of corpses on the flat ground.
Whether they are hunters or those richly dressed dignitaries, the appearance of their death is extremely hideous. Many people don't even have any external injuries on their bodies, but their death conditions are extremely horrific.
Have you ever seen colorful mushrooms growing on corpses
Have you ever seen rainwater acting like sulfuric acid, corroding people to death
Have you ever seen a belly that is swollen like a toad, and when touched lightly, it bursts open, and then a bunch of little toads jump out
Have you ever seen fungus-like white threads growing out of your eyes, ears, mouth and nose...
Various bizarre ways of death are displayed before your eyes.
It was an eye-opener for Renn.
I don’t know what means those top-level barbarians used to attack the city, but judging from the scene, the casualties of the barbarians were very few.
When he saw that the number one barbarian warrior "Habu" could intercept them outside, he guessed that there must be a lot of barbarian masters here at the base.
Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.
There are tens of thousands of barbarians in the base.
Each one is surrounded by one or two monster mounts, a mighty army of tens of thousands.
The strength and status of the barbarians are almost equal.
The higher the status, the higher the strength.
Except for the first warrior Habu.
Among them were two "elders" who were one level higher than the "high priest" Udo, and they were particularly eye-catching.
The totems on the faces of those two old men are very special and highly recognizable.
A man with a blue totem all over his body. To the naked eye, the blue paint on his face is actually "alive". The totem is like flowing blue spring water, circulating in the totem on the old man's body, and the aura is shining...
The other one is covered in an emerald green totem. The totem is also shining with light, giving people the impression that it was painted with fluorescent liquid from a previous life. Although the old man was dark and skinny, Ren saw a flourishing plant vitality in him.
I saw three "legendary level" combat forces at once. I can imagine that this time, if not all the barbarian tribes came out, at least half of their combat power came.
The savages cleared the battlefield and took away everything they could.
But they couldn't move the Mechanical City, so they could only destroy it.
Those barbarian warriors were knocking one by one, and they demolished several huge mechanical cities to pieces. Steel plates, rivets, artillery...
In the past few months of fighting, these barbarians have roughly understood the functions of some mechanical equipment. I also learned about magic props like storage rings...
Everything that can be taken away is taken away, and anything that cannot fit in the storage ring is hung on the Warcraft and carried around.
... ...
Renn and the four of them are the only survivors in the entire base.
Of course, except for the few red-robed archmages who used the teleportation array to escape.
The barbarians were cleaning up the battlefield, and Ren and the others, as "prisoners", were thrown beside the temporary circle of magic beasts.
Not far away, Wu Duo's snow mastiff, like a big guard dog, stared at them fiercely.
Ren was trapped like a caterpillar with animal tendons.
The same is true for Karl. Mr. Tust was not tied very tightly, but without the mechanical arm, he couldn't move at all.
Bazel's treatment was "the best". In addition to the strongest animal tendons, this legend also had black stone locks that overflowed with spiritual energy on his hands and feet. I don’t know if the monster feces in his mouth was spit out or went somewhere, but it was gone anyway.
As soon as this guy could speak, he babbled a few times and started shouting again: "Kid Ren, can you speak barbarian language?"
Along the way, he naturally heard the exchange between Ren and Udo, which was quite surprising.
If you say you can learn martial arts quickly, that can be said to be a talent.
How is it possible to master this language proficiently in just a few years of study
This also made Bazel more and more curious.
Ren didn't want to have monster excrement stuffed in his mouth. He looked at the guarding barbarian and whispered: "I can't explain it for a while. Although we can't die now... but they plan to sacrifice you to the gods. Senior, if you can escape, just escape by yourself and don't worry about us..."
"I'm running away! This thing is a 'forbidden magic lock'. If it's attached to my body, I can't move my fighting spirit, so why should I escape? Besides, there are three legendary barbarians outside, and I can't fly out even if I have wings."
Bazel was not angry.
After thinking about it, he asked his most curious question: "Did you fall in love with that barbarian girl, so she spared your life?"
"..."
Ren knew that this guy was thinking wrongly, so he explained: "I saved her before in the City of Glory, hey... I can't explain it in a few words. Anyway, don't talk nonsense, or you will be stuffed with monster dung again soon..." . ”
When Bazel heard this, he immediately felt the sour taste in his mouth.
As if a certain nerve has been stung, he habitually yells angrily at the top of his voice, "Damn it, you can kill me or cut me off without even frowning, but this is nothing..."
Then, after shouting in this voice, he successfully attracted the barbarian guard not far away.
The barbarian warrior didn't hesitate, he grabbed a handful of fresh ones from the ground and stuffed them in again.
woo woo woo woo...
Renn let out a long sigh as he watched what happened to the legend.
If you are being beaten, you can show loyalty and bear it together, but being stuffed with monster feces is too...
Then he turned his face away and decisively pretended not to know him, for fear of being affected.
... ... .
After cleaning up the battlefield, the barbarians burned down the plague base.
This hunting base, which had tens of thousands of people a day ago, turned into a dead place in an instant.
Civilized war is indeed bloody and cruel.
The hunters killed countless barbarians, and the barbarians responded with no mercy at all.
Now that the four of them have survived, I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.
Except that the fate of Bazel, the "sacrifice", has been roughly determined, Renn still doesn't know what Te and Carl's grandson are about to face.
If he could escape, he would definitely find a way to escape.
But these tens of thousands of elite barbarian warriors surrounded them three levels inside and three outside, giving them no chance at all.
Moreover, except for Wu Duo, every barbarian looked at these "invaders" with eyes as sharp as knives. If they dared to even try to escape, they would definitely be chopped up on the spot and fed to the monsters.
Not long after, Wu Duo came back from the discussion, and his face was not very good.
The whole army was ready to go out, and she picked up Ren again without any expression, and they jumped on the snow mastiff and rode together.
Bazel, who was not far away, saw this scene and his eyes were full of resentment. Ren was lying on the back of the soft snow mastiff, while he was hung on the mammoth's butt. The treatment was completely different.
Ouch~owoo~owoo~
There was a sound in the camp, which was the signal to break camp.
The barbarian warriors got on their monster mounts and ran wildly into the swamp. In this pursuit, the tribe mobilized half of its high-level combat forces, and they must rush back to the "Forest of Ashes" as soon as possible.
... ...
The Snow Mastiff is very fast and can cover dozens of meters in one jump.
Although this "old acquaintance" didn't give him a good look, he was also a "captive". Compared with Bazel's treatment, this barbarian girl took good care of him.
Ren was lying on his back on the soft and thick snow mastiff hair. Although it was a little bumpy, he didn't feel any discomfort.
In order to prevent Ren from falling, Udo also had to use her strong long legs to clamp him from time to time. But because he was wearing so little, the contact between their warm skin made him, a grown man, always feel that something was strange.
Not long after, the barbarian army had already rushed into the depths of the swamp.
Ren has been here for so many months, and this is the first time he has gone deep into this swamp.
Coleman and other warriors seemed to be very familiar with this swamp. The monsters were very skillful in avoiding dark pits and running at extremely fast speeds.
This time the plague base has been wiped out, and the barbarians have not suffered much losses. Logically speaking, it should be a great victory.
But the high-ranking barbarians seemed to have unhappy faces.
Ren's thoughts changed in his mind and he guessed that the reason for Wu Duo's bad expression was probably related to the red-robed archmage who teleported away.
After thinking about it, he decided to ask: "Wu Duo, are you here to chase those red-robed archmages this time?"
Surprisingly, Udo answered immediately this time.
However, he gritted his teeth and said, "Those despicable invaders, they sneaked into the 'Volcano Tribe', killed everyone in the tribe, and stole our tribe's inherited treasure - [Fire Totem]!"
When Ren heard this, he was slightly surprised.
It turned out that Winster's people didn't go to the temple, but instead went to slaughter a barbarian tribe
It is not difficult to understand that he stole the treasure. After all, allowing so many top-level extraordinary people to venture deep into the "Forest of Ashes" is definitely not just about killing a few people.
But this... what the hell is it that takes away the "totem"
Psychologically speaking, catering to other people's opinions will increase your favorability.
After hearing Udo's words, Ren immediately said: "I also think those red-robed mages are indeed despicable and dirty guys! If I can survive this time, I will definitely kill those bastards in the future!"
He said this with indignation, and even cursed and hinted a little.
Of course, it's not all just to gain favor, this is also true.
Those guys in the West family are really crazy with their vicious plan to divert trouble. If it weren't for them this time, at least some people in the plague base would be able to survive. Moreover, if you switch to another base and encounter the Barbarian lineup, the group will also be destroyed.
Sure enough, after saying this, Udo at least looked at Ren much more favorably.
After all, she could tell Wren's emotions.
At this time, Renn asked curiously: "Are the 'Fire Totem' these patterns painted on your body? Can you still steal it?"
Udo felt that it was necessary to let Ren understand that those hateful guys had robbed how important the treasure was to their tribe.
She said: "The totems painted on our Coleman clan are not just decorations. And the totems of the six elders are not painted with paint, but are the 'inherited treasures' of the tribe, a kind of 'figure that condenses high-level laws. Ling'..."
She explained a few words briefly, and Ren understood it.
These totems on the bodies of Coleman warriors are not only decorative patterns, but also a bit like "human body enchantments", which will increase their body's toughness, strength, elemental affinity, recovery... and other special effects.
Renn: "Then... is the totem on Habu's body also a kind of inherited Turing?"
Udo: "Yes! Elder Habu is the inheritor of this lineage of [Totem of Power]."
Renn: "What about the other two elders?"
Udo "..."
After a somewhat tentative chat, Renne also roughly understood the organizational structure of the Coleman clan.
There is a "witch priest" in their tribe who is the supreme leader. His abilities are unknown, but he must be very strong.
Secondly, there are the six elders whose combat power is comparable to "legendary".
Then there are the big and small priests like Udo.
In other words, there are only seven people in the entire Coleman tribe who have a higher status than Udo.
The "six elders" are the people in charge of the six inherited totems of the entire tribe. Their totems are not paintings, but "spiritual" totems passed down from their ancestors. Like the crystal core of a monster, it will be stripped out of the body after death and can be passed down from generation to generation.
Before, Ren thought that it was three of the elders who might be "legendary" masters.
Habu, Coleman’s first warrior who controls the [Totem of Power];
The "Rain Master Elder" Ffa controls the [Rain Totem]. Bazel said before that the problem with "Rain" is this person's extraordinary ability. Rain can sense range and can also kill people with acid rain;
"Elder Ghost Mushroom" Daler, who controls the [Wood Totem], can control the growth of plants. It is his extraordinary ability to make mushrooms grow on people's corpses.
The [Fire Totem] is a special elemental totem that can instantly increase a person's affinity for the fire element. It can help people practice more with less effort and understand the advanced laws of the fire element.
The Winster family specializes in fire spells, and this kind of thing is indeed fatally attractive to them.
So the red-robed masters of the Tust family killed a new elder who had just accepted the inheritance of the [Fire Totem] and took away the totem.
... ...
The two were not strangers to begin with.
Along the way, we gradually talked more and more.
Although Udo seems to have a cold attitude, it is not only because of the majesty that comes with being promoted to high priest, but also because of the hatred of the war camp. But in fact, she had no personal ill will towards Ren.
After the lively conversation had faded, Ren finally asked: "Um... High Priest Udo, what are you going to do with me and my companions?"
This is his biggest concern.
Wu Duo seemed to be uneasy in his heart. His tone changed from indifferent and finally had some fluctuations. He said: "You once saved my life. I should repay your kindness both emotionally and rationally. I have just saved you and Your companions, but I can’t make the decision to let you go.”
After a pause, she continued: "Although I believe you are a good person, this is related to the blood debt of the dead warriors of our tribe... I am not qualified to forgive the crimes committed by your tribe for the dead."
When Ren heard her say this, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.
This was a genocidal war between two civilizations.
It is human nature for one side to hate everyone on the other side.
Just when Ren felt that his future was uncertain, he heard Udo say again: "But don't worry... I will save you. But I can't do it for your companions... "
